Imagination
Vicarious
The book I’m reading, “Insights for Remarkable Business People”, has a section that talks about imagination or as it titled it: vicarious. I love reading books that introduces me to new concepts. Vicarious definition: experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person. This section gave an illustration of a meeting. The employees were to come up with a new advertising slogan. There was silence and no creative movement. The leader told everyone to think of their favorite movie scene. Soon the creative juices were flowing. Everyone started sharing their favorite scene in detail. The group naturally moved from the scenes to the slogan.Are you a imaginative person?
Does your imagination help you be a better person?
What do you imagine?I want to have an intrepid day, in all I do and in all I say.

I think I am an imaginative person but I wouldn’t say it made me a better person. To me, it just means my mind has stuff floating around all day but doesn’t get acted upon. lol. Interesting post.
The same goes for me as Margo said; my mind is always coming up with different stuff. The only real thing I think that makes me a better person is before I say something, my mind imagines all possible reactions to what I say, then I speak to make the out come better.
I’m an imaginative person. My imagination helps me with my photography and helps me have fun in life.
I imagine myself living full time in an RV and traveling about the country taking photos.
I’m not so imaginative
I’m pathetic at imagining something lol.
I a ma highly imaginative person! that’s why I became a writer:D
I would guess so!
@Margo73 - It’s an interesting book. I hadn’t thought of using my imagination for my advantage.
@looking_inside_me - Interesting – looking at all the different possiblities. I tend to go to the worse case senario.
@C_L_O_G - That would be so fun – traveling & looking for the right pictures. When it comes to me and pictures – I usually get one really good picture out of one hundred. Really good picture to me is the one that captures the moment and tells the story.
@fabolousclown - I personnally have to work at being creative. It doesn’t come easy.
@Paper4ever2006 - Writing – What do you write about?
Imagination sets us free from the constraints of life.
Not so. I think imaginative persons are the artistic ones.
I guess I’m like the ones in the group in that I can be if I’m motivated by someone as the leader who said,”pick the scene from your favorite movie.”
I think creativity comes in spurts. I know if I’m oveworked, I’m a lot less creative. I’m just worry about getting caught up and my brain is on auto pilot. I find I have to replenish my creativity by stimulating my mind (reading books, galleries, listening to music, looking at photographs…).
Thanks for subscribing.
YES and YES. I think we should all share our faith creatively (imaginatively)
I am a very imaginative person and I suppose my imagination helps me to be a better person.
I imagine lots of things, especially new worlds and characters for my stories.
Yes I am an imaginative person, and my imagination helps me be more creative with my camera and where I go to find the beauty of Mama Earth. I see the world around me as it will be in the different season. i do nto see dead leaves and blooms, but merely a coat to cover the new life of Spring that shall be coming soon.
To master imagination is to master life. Because dreams are a crystalization of thoughts that if pure enough will turn into reality
@icapillas - So true. Artisit people tend to drive me crazy becaust they insist on coloring outside the lines. -lol
@WondersCafe - Interesting
@Babyboomerjill - I also need the motivation
@ElusiveWords - I hear you on that. It helps me to be around creative people – although it usually drives me crazy. Creative people tend to be on their own road -lol
@stephensmustang - I have to depend upon others to help in that area – spirtiually creative.
@Shining_Garnet - Sounds like it comes naturally for you – a nice blessing.
@tymedancer - positive imagination – so nice.
I try to be. I guess that’s why I’m in art school. I’m more right-brained than left-brained.
@laytexduckie - Art School – cool. My teen, Alisha, wants to go to art school.
@Randy7777 -
Awesome. Does she know what she wants to concentrate in? Is she looking more for fine arts or something design oriented?
@laytexduckie - Well actually she’s going to Fine Arts right now. It’s in Rapid City, SD. It’s a competition. She’s singing a song. She is an excellent writer and loves art.
@Randy7777 -
Very cool.
Interesting post. What I imagine really has no purpose in my life like these comments. I don’t write or paint, I just imagine pointless things
I am imaginative person – but my imaginations somehow change a lot… great post as always…
@Randy7777 - Not really (imho). I mean sharing your faith via your blog, or what you are reading, or even daily things that speak to you is creatively sharing your faith. Creativity varies and I think you are doing a fine job w/out any help whatsoever (well, except from the Holy Spirit, naturally).
@jennylovve - Sometimes I like pointless thinking as an escape from seriousness -lol
@alwateen - Thanks
@stephensmustang - Yes, I love the help from the Helper – Holy Spirit.
Yes, but it depends. Sometimes my imagination works well and sometimes not. I don’t know if it makes me a better person, but sometimes it’s fun to have imaginative thoughts. I think my imagination did help me when I was involved in theater and acting. ~~Blessings ‘n Cheers
